The way they worded the phases is so insidious, like we know they're going to make it really easy for especially rich white men to get them knowing what we know about this government

The current regulations were set to run for 5 years, with data collection before any review. Instead, this NZ coalition govt is rushing a rewrite—without evidence that changes are needed. We had a strong, balanced system in place. Why undo it? #NZPol 2/7 s

One person. 20 minutes. 51 lives lost. The Christchurch terrorist attacks was per capita on the scale of 9/11 and showed just how deadly loose gun laws can be. The reforms were a direct response from Kiwis who said "never again." Why is a small coalition party trying to rewrite history? #ArmsAct 3/7

Gun regulations are not just costs—they are investments in safety. The Christchurch attacks cost over $2B and counting. The cost of not regulating firearms is far greater than the cost of ensuring they are controlled. #GunControlSavesLives 4/7

Just this week, inquest showing police stopped another mass shooting plot in Hamilton. The suspect lived 1 block from the University of Waikato & 2 blocks from Hillcrest High. He did a dry run in a public park. Imagine if gun laws had been even weaker. #NZPol 5/7

This is wasting time, money, and putting lives at risk. The current system needs time to prove itself—don’t let this govt strip away our protections before we even have the data. Submit your opposition before Friday. #GunControlNZ 6/7

Make your voice heard. Even a quick submission helps. Gun Control NZ has a link to make it easy: https://www.guncontrol.nz/submission. Let the govt know: We stand for safety. We oppose this rewrite. ⏳🛑 #ArmsAct #NZPol #GunSafety
